Each year during the second weekend of August we hold a grand gala honouring people from all walks of life for their contribution across many fields, supported by area churches, community leaders, businesses and professionals. An annual prayer breakfast sponsored by the Chicago Consulate takes place during the first week of January — call the office closer to the date for location, time and registration.
